To all whom it may concern: the members A and B are of one piece con- Beit known that I, THOMAS DEsELMs, nected by the coil and curvedportions'C and 40 citizen of the United States, residing at La C. Thedevice is held in position by means Fayette, in the county of Tippecanoeand of staples D which are driven into the woodwork of a door or windowframe and which are engaged by the angle portions A and B the staplesbeing arranged in yertical alinement. When secured to a door frame asshown in Fig. 1 the device forms a very con- State of Indiana, haveinvented a new and useful Im rovement in Towel and Curtain- Pole Holers, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention relates to a towel rack and curtain pole holder and theobject of the invenient towel rack, and by driving the stavention is aone-piece wire bracket which ples G only partially into the wood-workthe without the use of nails or screws,- and which can be employedeither for the purpose of holding towels or as a bracket for supportingthe curtain poles.

The invention consists of the novel features of construction,hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification :-Figure 1 is aperspective view of my device, in position for use as a towel holder orrack. Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the use of the device asa curtain ole bracket.

In 'these drawings A represents a wire member extending when in usesubstantially in a horizontal plane and B is a lower and slightlyupwardly extending member, arranged below and substantially in the samebent to form a coil and the lower member vertical plane as the member rbeing curved, said curved portion forming a Both the members A and Bhave their reverse continuation of the coil, and the free 70 free endsbent at right angles as shown at ends of both members being angled asand A and B while at their opposite ends the for the purpose set forth.member A is bent forming a coil C and the THOMAS DESELMS. member B iscurved upwardly as shown at C, which curve is a reverse continuation ofIt will therefore be obvious that device is practically loosely pivotedand can be swung against the wall or outwardly into the osition shown inFig. 1. By driving the stap es further into the wood-work so that theywill tightlygrip the anled portions, the device will be held firmly inplace and can be easily used as a curved ole bracket, the pole passingthrough the 001 C within which it rests.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters, Patent, is

A device of the kind described comprising integral upper and lowermembers, the upper member being in substantially a horizontal plane andthe lower member being substantially in the same vertical plane with theupper member, the upper member being Witnesses WM. H. GARRIGUES,
